all right another day another video card review this time it's the gtx 1660 from Nvidia and Bargo just lifted do we really have to do a dedicated video on this car don't we already kind of know where this is gonna fall I mean come on I've got better things to do with my time if only there was someone with nothing better to do than to shoot this stupid video for me I think that would be really great if only I could find someone hey honey alright so we're gonna check out the new and videocard the 1660 1660 this is MSI's card it's the gaming X okay this specific model is selling for 249 but Nvidia is MSRP is 219 so you can get it for a little bit cheaper has the twin froze r7 thermal design whatever that means design with the new Torx fan 3.0 which gives you low temperatures in this stable performance it also has a new heatsink which is optimized for efficient heat dissipation which again keeps your temperatures low and it also has a mystic light RGB awesome that's all I really see on the back of the box so let's open it but it says gaming is my life and then it says eat sleep game and repeat it sounds horrible all right here it is guys looking pretty good dude so my first impressions of this card it seems like a pre pretty sturdy card has good weight to it the plastic is pretty good quality too like sometimes when you get a new product and it's made of plastic it did seem pretty cheap but this actually seems pretty nice I like the brushed metal on the back that's pretty nice Oh Kyle always point this out it has one eight pin thing right here alright now that we knew what this card looks like let's go over the specs alright um looking at the gtx 1660 column here the architecture and model is 14 turing to 1/16 the base clock is 15 30 megahertz the boost clock is 1785 megahertz the memory size is 6 gigabytes gddr5 the memory bus width is 192 bits what does this w stand for right here the TDP 120 w don't know what that means before I forget it has a little note here on the prices at the time of filming these are the lowest prices that kind of could find on Amazon and Newegg alright so today's test testbed system is featuring an AMD risin 7 2700 X 4.0 gigahertz OC and MSI X 470 gaming m7 e C motherboard and a 16 gigabyte g.skill flare XD for 3204 the memory and a bunch of other things said we're not gonna go over and the video cars that we're testing today are the msi gtx 1660 gaming X 6 gigabytes at MSI GTX 1660 Ti gaming X 6 gigabytes MSI GTX 1060 gaming x6 gigabytes man this is a mouthful and the power color rx 580 Red Devil 8 gigabyte and then the X s x RX 590 fat boy a table bite alright let's see what the results are alright so the first game that Kyle tested was ashes of singularity and if we go straight to the GTX 1660 looks like it's it's did pretty well compared to the other cards that he tested not as good as the GTX 1660 TI but not far behind so so far based on what I'm looking at right now it looks like the GTX 1660 is doing pretty good but let's look at the other games at Kyle tested next one is battlefield one again the GTX 1660 is doing pretty well still looks like the 1660 beats out the RX 590 so again it looks like the GT s 1660 Ti is outperforming all the other cards but it's also the most expensive card at 279 so let's take a look at the third testicle did which was with the GT 5 surprisingly looks like the AMD rx 590 is falling pretty far behind the GTX 1660 so there is a bit of a difference there alright let's look at the Metro last light test that Kyle ran Wow the GTX 1560 ti hit a hundred and eleven frames per second as the average the GTX 1560 only hit 97 but then the RX 590 hit 87 so there's a pretty big difference there between those cards all right and it looks like I'll only brand averages for this last test for a shadow of the Tomb Raider again the gtx 1660 looks like it's pretty up there the TI is obviously outperforming all these cards again the ante cards just aren't really up to par with the GTX 1660s so all right let's look at the averages of all of these cards Kyle put some like little notes here it looks like the 1660 was 10% slower than the GTX 1660 TI but it's also cheaper so you know that's pretty good it looks like the GC at 1660 was faster though 8.4 % faster than the rx 590 so if I were to have to choose between these two cards I probably would choose the gtx 1660 just based on performance and price alone and then if you compare the the gtx 1660 to the gtx 1060 the 1660 was twelve point eight percent faster now taking a look at the RX 580 the gtx 1660 was sixteen point three percent faster the RX 580 has a price point of 199 and if we look at that price point and how performed i would say that this card rx 580 would have to be significantly cheaper to consider it just based on the price and the performance of the gtx 1660 it was it was just a lot better so you know in conclusion to this I would say the GTX 1660 pretty good car and there you have a folks that's the end of this video life pea sauce attempting to do an overview and read off benchmarks how did I do anyways we're gonna end it here guys if you liked this video go ahead and toss some like what does Kyle always say in these videos subscribe to our channel please if you have not done so already and make sure you leave a note in the comments that you never want me to do an overview or review again I'm just not as good as Caudill thanks for watching this video
